How to prevent teen pregnancy has been a question for many years now. Statistics have been running wild trying to keep up with the teenage generation. Many people have their opinions on the subject (teen pregnancy), because teens seem to be getting pregnant all so fast these days. People fail to realize that having a baby is supposed to be a sort of privilege. Many people take having a baby as a joke. Getting pregnant and having a child involves many pros/cons. For example having a child can be harder on some people than it is on others. When having a baby there are a lot of things to worry ab

Many pregnant women are not aware of the complications that are involved with pregnancy. The greater majority of young women see pregnancy as a way of bringing a life into the world but do not use precaution in their dietary habits to prevent the destruction or inhibition of such a life. Most pregnant women continue on their drinking and drug abuse binge right throughout their pregnancy. They do not think ahead to the inexplicable damage that it could do to their fetus. What they do not know is that when a woman drinks while pregnant it could do damage, and pose problems not only to

Abortion. Is it wrong or right?
An abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. This can occur spontaneously as a miscarriage, or be artificially induced by chemical, surgical or other means. As define by the oxford dictionary.
Some people may say that the unborn, commonly called fetuses, are not alive, but that is not true. Embryo and Fetus are two stages of development while still in the womb, just like toddler and adolescent are names for humans already born. A Fetus is a unique human being and receives a genetic code all

A couple decades ago, when abortion was illegal, thousands of women died because they did not want to bear an infant and attempted to terminate the child's life by themselves or with an unprofessional approach. After 1973's Supreme Court decision, which allowed women to have the choice to abortion, thousands of women were saved. Abortion can save thousands of lives of women and thus, should remain legal in the United States.

Teen Pregnancy in U.S.
The U.S. has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the western industrialized world. As defined under the U.S. law teen pregnancy is pregnancy occurring in young women between the ages of 13 and 19 years old. As stated in the National Campaign to Prevent Teenage Pregnancy, the teen pregnancy rate is 117 per 1,000 females. This problem has caused society to blame many different situations as the cause of this result. Teen pregnancy has many consequences that must be faced due to this increase, along with effects of this problem. Teen Pregnancy is a major problem in th

According to Microsoft Encarta Encyclopaedia contraception is a deliberate prevention of pregnancy using any of several methods. (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopaedia, 2004)
There are many different forms of contraception available on todays market, but these can be broken down into two main types; hormonal and barrier contraceptives.
Barrier method contraceptives are a physical barrier that prevents sperm from fertilizing the ovum. Some like the male and female condom totally prevent the sharing of bodily fluids, while others such as the cervical cap and the diaphragm allow the sharing o

Premature birth is the birth of a baby before the standard period of pregnancy is completed. (Premature Birth, 2007) The mortality rate of premature babies has decreased significantly over the years because of improved medical treatment and technology advancements; this has helped save and improve the lives of premature babies who were born between 22 to 36 weeks into pregnancy all over Canada. (Balbir, 2005)

This paper will explore the different reasons and options surrounding the pros and cons of instituting legal sanctions against mothers who abuse alcohol and use illegal drugs during pregnancy. In society today it is debatable whether or not a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body during pregnancy. If a woman is using drugs while pregnant should the law be able to step in and tell her how to take care of her body? This paper will provide: information explaining the effects that substance abuse has on pregnant women, provide a view of both sides of a womans right to choose as w

Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a pregnancy, usually before the embryo or fetus is capable of independent life. The argument dealing with this medical procedure is not as simple as the definition is. One side of the argument is in support of abortion, a fight to help tear down the laws that ban it and to allow new laws supporting it to be created. The other side of the argument is against abortion, fighting to create new laws that would ban such a procedure in as many states as possible. This struggle between legalizing or illegalizing abortion has gone on for years and

Prenatal exposure to drugs or other teratogens is a great concern to would be parents and generally to society as a whole. A complete understanding of the effects of these drugs and teratogens is necessary in the prevention of possible adverse side effects in children. Recreational drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, alcohol, heroine, and marijuana are proven teratogens that cause a high risk of servere mental and physical retardation in children. These drugs are fairly well researched; the amount a mother can consume, the extent to which these drugs will harm the

Abortion is generally the practice of destroying a foetus before birth. The term abortion is actually the premature ejection of the foetus from the womb, either accidental or deliberate. If the foetus dies of natural reasons, it is know as spontaneous abortion. The wider known medical definition of abortion is what was formerly known as procured abortion, and now it is essentially the practice of killing a foetus (depending on your definition of life, and when it begins). There are various methods of procured abortion, including sucking the foetus out of the womb, scraping the walls with

Imagine that there was a way to naturally reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and the amount of abortions each day. To look into an abortion agencys window and see the amount of young faces disappear each time you went by would be a blessing to the American population and to many American families.

Abortion During the past quarter century, abortion has joined race and war as one of the most debatable subject of controversy in the United States. It discusses human interaction where ethics, emotions and law come together. Abortion poses a moral, social and medical dilemma that faces many individuals to create a emotional and violent atmosphere. There are many points of view toward abortion but the only two fine distinctions are pro-choice and pro-life. A pro-choicer would feel that the decision to abort a pregnancy is that of the mothers and the state has no right t

Since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that did away with all laws regulating abortion, it has become one of our nations most controversial issues. Outlawing abortion would have the effect of imposing one persons moral values upon another. Can I prevent someone from drinking because I think its wrong? Can I insist that two people stay married because Im against divorce? The answer to these questions is no. Not only is it unconstitutional, but its unrealistic to believe that we can control the lives of others simply because their beliefs differ from ours. Abortion is

A quote by John Kerry; Too many people in America believe that if you are pro-choice that means pro-abortion. It doesn't. I don't want abortion. Abortion should be the rarest thing in the world. I am actually personally opposed to abortion. But I don't believe that I have a right to take what is an article of faith to me and legislate it to other people. That's not how it works in America. This quote as a whole, sums up my feelings on a debate that many of us come into contact with on a daily basis. This is the debate of pro choice vs. pro life. I also like John Kerry am pro-choice, and I do

Introduction
Long acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) consist of different methods of contraception that are administered less than once a month or several years. They also have the additional benefit on not relying upon user compliance such as remembering to take a pill every day for several years. This paper aims to explore the advantages, influences and barriers to the use of LARC in the UK.
The desire to avoid pregnancy has been present for hundreds of generations around the world, and as such has spawned very many different and diverse methods of contraception to be developed over

Since the beginning of time, or as it seems, abortion has been one of the most hackneyed, religiously and legally controversial topics around. More and more people are beginning to feel extremely passionate in their view of this matter whether it be pro-life or pro-choice. Simply stated, this situation will never seem to rest or stop undergoing constant scrutiny. Since the 1973 case of Roe VS. Wade, one of the first infamous trials regarding this matter, the laws regulating abortion have seemingly been set in stone.

Sarah Moore, 18, discovered that she was eight weeks pregnant. She wanted to blame her partner but then again it was her that was being so gullible. She wanted to have an abortion, which her partner agreed hed help pay for, but it was a hard decision. She began to have second thoughts because she had taken sexual education classes in school and learned that the safest way not to get pregnant was absentness. There was no way she could have a baby; however she was a college student and had no time. What sense would it make to bring a baby to the world that Sarah couldnt mother and provide for?

Abortion
One of the most controversial, divisive, and most talked about issues in recent history is abortion. The scope of discussion is vast, from scientific discussions in the medical field to the moral ramifications discussed in philosophy classes: even the uninformed celebrities on day time television try to offer their input on the subject. Being informed on a subject is a key factor in understanding and forming an opinion about it. Unfortunately the mass majority is uninformed or misinformed on the subject. They have broken off into two sides on the issue, pro life and pro choice, bot

The Period Piece is a documentary that discusses girls and their first periods, otherwise known as menarche, by interviewing both men and women and by showing clips from older films on the same subject. They cover many different topics associated with menstruation such as different euphemisms used for the word period, to myths and insecurities, and even has a section to encourage viewers to think of how they will prepare their future daughter for her first period.
There are many euphemisms used in the place of words such as period and menstruation that are often embarrassing or uncomfortable

The controversy surrounding the ethicality of abortions has been a hotly debated topic during the past several decades. In the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, the Court ruled that women had the constitutional right to seek abortions; however, in 1989, the Court later decided that each state had the right to set its own abortion policy. Heated disagreements and different perspectives have led to the creation of two different movements: the prochoice movement and the prolife movement. The former supports abortion, the intentional ending of a pregnancy, while the latter

In the continuing debates on the legality and morality of abortion, "partial birth" abortions have become a hot topic. What exactly is a partial birth abortion? Nebraska state legislation defines it as "an abortion procedure in which the person performing the abortion partially delivers a living unborn child before killing the unborn child and completing delivery." It is a very cruel procedure which includes a breech delivery of a living unborn child which leaving only the head in the cervix. Then surgical scissors are inserted into the childs head where the baby is then killed. A suction

An Unwelcome Surprise: Teen Pregnancy
Media today imposes negative influences on our youth. Things such as celebrities, movies, and music portray that rebellion is the key to happiness. This generation is being exposed to sexual impurity at a staggering rate; opposed to past generations. (Cornstock, Media of the American Child).

Abstract
This essay will be a discussion of the numerous issues that surround Abortions. The question is Should they be legal?, and both sides of this argument will be illuminated. A brief description of the types of abortions and both sides of the arguments will be included. In our progressive world it is perplexing that this issue remains a debatable controversy. In the presence of the obvious conclusion, the pattern of inference remains, a personal choice. The argument persists because it deals with a human life.

Abortions and unwanted pregnancies have always existed. There are documents showing that different ancient cultures, in Europe, as well as in the new world, had their own methods to practice family planning (Kumar, Hessinia & Mitchell, 2009). But was in the tumultuous 1960s when the right of women to decide how to manage an unwanted pregnancy and the legalization of abortions came to the discussion table. Many issues, regarding such controversial matter, were to tackle their impact on societies, communities and families. Nowadays, abortion has become a common procedure, and it is very pro

Its a choice that could change your life forever. Having a child is a huge decision on its own, but the decisions surrounding prenatal testing are some that could affect your life in various ways. The testing of a fetus chromosomes by amniocentesis, Chronic Villus Sampling (CVS), maternal serum screening and even ultrasound can raise questions and concerns for not only the parents, but also others involved in the pregnancy. With many couples opting for abortion after a problem is diagnosed with an unborn fetus, it is a subject that raises many issues in society.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, women play a very important role in family and national development and they account half of the world populations. The number of women active in the workforce is increasing rapidly. Women choose to out for work or have to return to work (either full or part time) after their babies are born. Due to the high cost of living, it requires both partners to work and this reflects changing in demographic patterns. The nuclear family with a wife at home is a reality for only a small proportion of the population and, for better or worse, a diminish

As a child in the United States, many class projects are geared towards the infamous question What do you want to be when you grow up? Americans are born and raised to dream of a career and learn a trade. Children are subjected to the idea of choosing a future occupation even before they are able to read and write. American adults obtain educational and technical training to obtain the career that theyve been dreaming of their e

Abortion: Pro-Life
In January 1973, the Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade, made it legal for any woman in the first trimester of pregnancy to get an abortion. It stated that in the second trimester the state could regulate the abortion in ways that it pertained to the safety of the mother, and in the third trimester the state can forbid the abortion if the mothers life is at risk (Murchison). However, just because the Supreme Court feels that abortion is acceptable, does not mean the United States as a whole feels that way. Since this case, abortion has been an extrem

INTRODUCTION:
All women, when they become pregnant, must consider a wide variety of options. For some women, these options are along the lines of baby names, nursery décor themes and childcare choices. Other women, however, don't view a positive pregnancy test as such a joyous occasion, and these women begin considering options that include giving the baby up for adoption or terminating the pregnancy with an abortion. Depending on where the woman lives, that last option is legal, or it may be pursued underground.

Midwives have been part of the human experience for as long as we know."The ancient Jews called her the wise woman, just as she is known in France as the sage-femme, and in Germany, the weise frau and also Hebamme or mother's adviser, helper, or friend. The English 'midwife' is derived from midwife, or with-woman"(J.H. Aveling). The Latin term cum-mater and the Spanish and Portuguese term comadre, have the same meaning: with woman. The midwife is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, 35:17: "And when she (Rachel) was in her hard labor, the midwife said to her, 'Fear not, for now you will have ano

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, resulting in death of the unborn baby. Abortion can be tracked back to ancient times and in America it was legal from when the very first settlers arrived. It did not become illegal until the 1800s when states started passing laws to make it legal for fear of it ruining the population of native people. From the 1800s to 1973 abortions still occurred but were done illegally and unsafely which resulted in thousands of women harmed or dead. Then in 1973 Roe v. wade made it leg

Allowing Genetic Abortions
Due to the advancement of technology, more and more information can be learned of the genetics of a child before he or she is born. Although this seems like a beneficial idea, when focusing on learning of a genetic disorder, the ethical issue of abortion is raised. When dealing with genetic abortion, various people tend to be morally divided between continuing to let the baby with the disorder grow into within the mothers womb, or simply aborting it. During this essay I will argue that it is ethically permissible for parents to ge

Introduction
The time a woman is approaching the end of her pregnancy, she may start developing labor complications through induction process rather than waiting for the labor pain to start on its natural way. This is labor induction and when it is recommended by a qualified healthcare provider, it is the indicated labor induction as it improves the health of the woman and that of the baby. Elective labor induction however refers to the induced labor to an expectant woman f

What is abortion? Abortion is when you terminate a pregnancy either accidentally or by choice. Abortion is usually done in the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy. Abortions caused by rape, incest, health concerns to mother/baby are just 7% of the abortion rate and the rest is either social or personal issues.
When women choose to terminate their pregnancy they have been thinking about it for a while. Like teenagers who find out they are pregnant are most likely to drop out of school or end there education. In todays life women could not get far because you ne

technology is in-vitro fertilization. This technology combines ovum and sperm in a culture dish, in a laboratory. Women who opt for this type of technology are administered a series of hormone treatments, commonly known as fertility drugs, via injections. These hormones allow the ovaries to produce multiple eggs at a time. The eggs are the

Whats Good for One Can be Wrong for Another
Abortion has been around since the dawn of time, well dating back to the 1820s at least. During the 1820s, The United States considered abortions illegal and could carry a felony sentence. Today, abortion is left up to the woman and the man that dont want to have the baby (Cook and Dickens). As a country, we tried to illegalize abortion. Apparently, it didnt work. Why should we consider going back to what was consider illegal in 1828? Simply, we shouldnt. Abortion has become a controversial topic of the past few years.

Today I will be talking about the way the authors and creators of a television commercial and newspaper article influence us to their opinion by writing the way they do. The topic that I am studying is Teenage Pregnancy. This topic is always going to be in the media for different reasons, and occasionally you hear about a story of a young girl getting pregnant due to un-safe sex. There will always be issues with this subject within society because so many people have different opinions and views of this topic and weather or not it right or wrong.

Every pregnancy holds a risk that something will go wrong. An ectopic pregnancy is just one of the tragedies.
In a normal pregnancy, a fertilized egg travels from the location of fertilization (the fallopian tube) to the uterus. Sometimes however, the egg grows in the wrong place, which is known as an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). The baby (fetus) cannot survive, and often does not develop at all in this type of pregnancy. In order to understand ectopic pregnancy

Artificial insemination is employed in cases of infertility or impotence, or as a means by which an unmarried woman may become pregnant. The procedure, which has been used since the 1940s, involves injecting collected semen into the woman's uterus and is performed under a physician's supervision.
Artificial insemination raises a number of legal concerns. Most states' laws provide that a child born as a result of artificial insemination using the husband's sperm, referred to as AIH, is presumed to be the husband's legal child. When a child is born after artificial insem

An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or foetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced. Abortion as a term most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages.
Abortion has a long history and has been induced by various methods including herbal abortifacients, the use of sharpened tools, physical trauma and other traditional methods. Modern m
